The standalone structure, usually with its own spacious backyard, gives us the room, privacy, and retreat-like atmosphere to live and raise our families in a neighborhood or city we love. But in recent years, homeowners have been flocking to duplex homes more than ever before — especially residents of popular cities such as Austin, where affordability and space can be an issue.
